As summer vacations come to an end and UAE prepares for the return to school, the Ministry of Interior has declared August 25, 2025, the start of the new academic year, as ‘A Day Without Accidents’.
The Ministry of Interior (MOI) will conduct this initiative in coordination with all police departments across the country. It takes place annually on the day children nationwide return to school, aiming to enhance road safety as traffic increases after a two-month summer break.
In order to incentivize motorists, the ministry has implemented a reward system for those who do not violate any traffic laws on this day.
If you submit a pledge on the official MOI website and register no violations on August 25, four black points will be deducted from your driving license. This deduction will occur electronically by September 15, 2025, eliminating the need to visit service centers.
Brigadier Hussein Ahmed Al Harithi, chairman of the Federal Traffic Council, stated that the initiative not only aims to increase safety on the day children return to school but also aims to raise awareness about recurring traffic violations.
Motorists have been urged to wear their seatbelts, adhere to road speed limits, maintain safe distances from other vehicles, drive without distractions such as mobile phones, and yield to emergency vehicles and official convoys.
